Do you really need them?
Aren't they to hold the fibreglass hoods in? Our bonnets are strong enough and heavy enough as is, really no need

They can be useful in high speed situations such as trackwork in case of hood latch failure, for obvious reasons.
Any decent parts shop should have them.

The Aerocatch ones are the best out there. And street legal, unlike exposed ones.
They are a bitch to install though. So I am told.

You can put hood pins on whatever bonnet you like! Just requires cutting holes haha

I think they are for cars that don't have the double latch.
We wouldn’t need them but I think they would look pretty cool.
My vote is for the exposed ones, like on some Mustangs with the wire that holds the pin.
